Vinoteca Moratín is a small house with food by Marcos Gil. It has a few tables accompanied by soft lights and simple decorations, with some contemporary works, that create a romantic atmosphere for any special occasion. The focus of the romantic evening will be the cuisine. They offer a small menu which is good, since you will want to try everything. A great option is the steak tartar, that many consider one of the best in the capital, or the pollo al albariño (chicken), another of their specialties. All of this can be accompanied with some of the wines from their menu, all of them are delicious. You must make a reservation by phone, as there are only a few tables and they don’t double book, which is perfect if you want to stay longer.
It is a classic romantic spot although we have to leave Madrid’s center to enjoy this special restaurant, but it’s worth it. Why is it so special? This restaurant is an old train car that Benito, its owner, picked up from the scrapyard to remodel and create one of the most special restaurants in the capital. Considering some of the most prestigious individuals ate here (the very King Alfonso XIII, for example) the service is impeccable and ordering lunch or dinner here is unforgettable. The food they offer is in season and they also have a sampling menu at 60 euros, which is ideal in case you don’t know what to choose.

We change the light, colors and decorations in general for a more natural romanticism. Invernadero de Los Peñotes is like going to the jungle, but with the facilities and amenities of an unbeatable restaurant. It is built in an old greenhouse that belonged to the Los Peñotes gardening center, the natural light is just as impressive as their menu. It is characterized by Mediterranean cuisine with the salad “El Invernadero”, croquetas, a rich milanesa de pez emperador (emperor fish) with tartar sauce and the albóndigas de pollo (chicken dumplings) with curry sauce and wild rice. To finish, you should opt for their ice cream or crispy mousse de plátano (banana mousse). The cherry on top of a unique meal.
It is a small bistro with a capacity of around 40 people, so privacy is guaranteed. Its decorations are characterized by their simplicity, far from the new modern trends, which makes you feel like you are in your dining room at home. If the weather is good you can enjoy your food on the charming terrace, one of the nicest in the capital. The menu is not extensive and varies depending on the season, but the quality of the products is always surprising. That is to say, choose what you want and you will not be disappointed.
